Printer Recycling and Disposal
Printers are an essential piece of IT equipment. You use them on a day to day basis within the office. But, when your printer becomes end of life, you must consider it’s disposal.
As printers contain hazardous and toxic materials they need specialist treatment. There may also be sensitive business information still saved on the machine. For these reasons you should use a reliable and reputable disposal company.

Our recycling process is as simple as:

STEP 4
Equipment is logged and loaded into our vehicles.
STEP 5
We process the equipment at our licensed recycling facility. Equipment that can be reused is tested, otherwise it is stripped for materials.
STEP 6
Once complete, we issue a recycling report and data destruction certificate
How is a Printer recycled?
Our printer recycling process is a logical process. We begin by inspecting the device. Can we refurbish the printer to have a second life. Reusing a printer is more environmentally friendly than recycling it. Any toners found within printers are removed and sent for reuse.
If we can’t reuse the machine, could any parts repair another machine for reuse? It’s not always cost effective to buy a spare spart but used parts can give an old machine new life.
If, after the testing process, the machine is end of life we recycle and recover the materials.
As part of the recycling process we destroy the data on the hard drive. This is through physical destruction, the shredding of the drive. Your data is securely destroyed complete with a destruction certificate.
